Avalanche forecast for Monday 23 February 2026.

Shady slopes: Weakly bonded old snow requires caution. Very steep sunny slopes: Increase in danger of wet avalanches as a consequence of warming.

all day it applies moderate avalanche danger, so danger level two.

all day, above 1800 meter, we have a persistent weak layer problem. Especially in the aspects West to North to East. Furthermore, all day, we have a wet snow problem. Especially in the aspects South-East to South to South-West.

Avalanches can be released in the old snowpack and reach medium size on west, north and east facing slopes. This applies in case of a single winter sport participant, especially above approximately 1800 m. In their paths avalanches can entrain the wet snow. This extends the avalanche runout distances. As a consequence of warming during the day and solar radiation small and, in isolated cases, medium-sized wet loose snow avalanches are possible. In addition especially at the base of rock walls, individual small and medium-sized wet avalanches are possible. The runout zones are to be treated with caution.

And now the snowpack:

15 to 25 cm of snow, and even more in some localities, fell in the last few days. Distinct weak layers exist in the old snowpack in particular on west, north and east facing slopes. Outgoing longwave radiation during the night will be reduced. The weather conditions as the day progresses will give rise to gradual and thorough wetting of the snowpack. This applies in particular on very steep sunny slopes.

We have the following danger patterns: dp.1: deep persistent weak layer, dp.10: springtime scenario.

The tendency for Tuesday 24 February 2026 indicates a steady avalanche danger.

Have a nice day and don't forget to be careful!
